Introduction to Beatbox/vocal percussion workshops
the operabeatz! workshop
Our OperaBeatz! Workshop aims to show how 2 completely different styles of music can be fused together.
We begin the workshop with a short physical warm up and some energy games to help eliminate nerves and get the group energised, led by our Soprano Sam.
OperaBeatz will demonstrate how they mix their different styles of music effectively, by performing a short song for you.
Andy then takes over the session and teaches the group some sounds from his unique style of Vocal Percussion, including snare drum, bass drum & hi-hat sounds. By the end of the session the group will be able to have a go at putting their new skills to the test to ‘Beatbox’ along with a song & accompany Samantha for a final informal performance.
NB. We usually recommend sessions of 40-45mins for Junior school aged children. Sessions can be increased for secondary schools and adult classes and will include some group work and allows participants to experiment in groups to come up with their own rhythms and sounds.
Workshops are designed to be fun and inclusive and participants are encouraged to experiment without judgment & find the enjoyment of creating rhythms to music.
